Storage Units

Choose a self storage close to where you will be moving your contents to, this will cut down on travel time that a moving company will charge you for. Try and get a storage on the ground floor, this again will cut down on the time of the move as oppose to loading and unloading an elevator where in most elevators you have to stop and put a code into the elevator every time you use it and this will cost you more time for your move or logistics. Know where your unit is before you sign and pay for it, reason being is that the closer it is to access to load and unload will make a big difference in the time the movers are there and your cost. Just request the sells person of the property to find you a unit with easy access. Make sure you get a storage unit big enough for what you what to load in it. It is always good to secure a storage facility in which you have 24 hour access to your storage unit.

Move Cost and Hourly Move Rates

First "The Flat Rate Move" which is a cost determined on the exact pieces of furniture, boxes, beds etc. you want moved. Now when you go with the flat rate there are several cost and they can consist of a trip charge, flights of stairs, load/unload distance (your door to movers truck), and miles. These things are all calculated in the flat rate cost and that will be an upfront price quote and does not move on a time basis.

Second "The Hourly Rate Move" This price can average from $59 per hr. for a two man crew to $99 per hr. for a two man crew. South Coast Movers rate is $80 per hr. for a 2 man crew and $100 per hr. for a 3 man crew. Now this price is set on an rate per hour meaning that flights of stairs, miles (maybe extra if it is City to City) and load/unload distance is determined by the time it takes to get the move done and extra stops and extra furniture only equates into time and the hours used on your move, which determines your final cost.

Get a flat rate cost for your move here and we will also approximate what an hour rate will be and you can compare the two move cost and then price your move.

Rental Trucks

If you are a do-it-your-selfer then consider what your move could consist of your time, friends and family for labor. Rental truck that you have to go out P/U...hope they have what you reserved. Pay mileage, (some truck rental companies charge as much as 99 cents per mile) and insurance.If you would still like to do it yourself we can still help you load or unload your rental truck and have a moving crew out when you are ready to move.

I am moving to Houston - can you tell me more about Houston?

THEN - In August 1836, two real estate entrepreneurs—Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen—from New York, purchased 6,642 acres (26.88 km2) of land along Buffalo Bayou with the intent of founding a city. The Allen brothers decided to name the city after Sam Houston, the popular general at the Battle of San Jacinto, who was elected President of Texas in September 1836. Houston was granted incorporation on June 5, 1837, with James S. Holman becoming its first mayor. In the same year, Houston became the county seat of Harrisburg County (now Harris County) and the temporary capital of the Republic of Texas. In 1840, the community established a chamber of commerce in part to promote shipping and waterborne business at the newly created port on Buffalo Bayou.

NOW - Houston has teams in every major or semi-major professional sport except the National Hockey League and Major League Lacrosse, including the Houston Astros (MLB), Houston Texans (NFL), Houston Rockets (NBA), Houston Dynamo (MLS), and Houston Aeros (AHL). Minute Maid Park (home of the Astros) and Toyota Center (home of the Rockets and Aeros) are located in downtown—contributing to an urban renaissance that has transformed Houston's center into a day-and-night destination. Also, the city has the first domed stadium in the United States and also holds the NFL's first retractable roof stadium—Reliant Stadium. This stadium is also home to the worlds largest big screen TV. Other sports facilities in Houston are Hofheinz Pavilion, Reliant Astrodome, Robertson Stadium, and Rice Stadium. Houston will also host the 2016 NFL Super Bowl.

THEATER AND ARTS - The Theater District is a 17-block area in the center of downtown Houston that is home to the Bayou Place entertainment complex, restaurants, movies, plazas, and parks. Bayou Place is a large multilevel building containing full-service restaurants, bars, live music, billiards, and Sundance Cinema. The Houston Verizon Wireless Theater, now Bayou Music Center, stages live concerts, stage plays, and stand-up comedy. Space Center Houston is the official visitors' center of NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. The Space Center has many interactive exhibits including moon rocks, a shuttle simulator, and presentations about the history of NASA's manned space flight program. Other tourist attractions include the Galleria (Texas's largest shopping mall located in the Uptown District), Old Market Square, the Downtown Aquarium, and Sam Houston Race Park. Of worthy mention are Houston's current Chinatown and the Mahatma Gandhi District. Both areas offer a picturesque view of Houston's multicultural makeup. Restaurants, bakeries, traditional-clothing boutiques and specialty shops can be found in both areas. - Source
